Dino Voice / Updates

Release notes

Version 2.8

Shorten proximity voice range inside caves to 40 meters, and keep players inside and outside caves from hearing each other.
Keep voice connected when you switch tabs or your screen dims by holding the screen awake and recovering paused audio or microphone after returning.
Give the site a modern minimal look in light and dark themes, with a new dinosaur header illustration.
Restyle the joined voice controls and microphone indicator to match the minimal theme.

Explain likely maintenance work when server health reports no recent game-server activity and link visitors to Discord for support and update requests.
Make the in-game join-code instruction wrap and resize to fit mobile and desktop screens.
Replace the header mark with a small dinosaur-island icon.

Automatically recover from brief voice connection interruptions and show a clear next step if reconnection fails.
Make Dino Voice installable as a web app for quicker access, with an offline page shell.
Clarify that microphone permission is remembered by the browser after it is allowed.

Keep the social voice-chat experience as the main page view and move server health into its own accessible tab.

Show progress for each voice-connection step and give stalled join requests a clear timeout message.
Request microphone access before redeeming one-time join codes and ignore duplicate connection attempts.
Show browser site-permission instructions when microphone access is blocked, and distinguish a missing microphone.

Added a live Path of Titans server-health panel with current, average, and maximum tick rates and player count.
Moved the health panel below the voice app and made it more compact.
Improved small-screen layouts, placing voice controls ahead of player lists on mobile.

Release notes are available from version 2.3 onward; earlier updates were not recorded here.
